Coco and Jacqueline were amazing! They offer the best prices and wedding packages in town.

We live on the island and had the pleasure of meeting with Coco and Jacqueline before our big day at their beautiful waterfall home. We paid a $200 deposit online via PayPal to hold our date then paid the remaining balance a few weeks before our wedding date at their home. This gave us time to apply for our wedding license at the Department of Health DOH (about $13) downtown. Coco gave us guidance on the best times to go to the DOH to avoid long lines as we talked story on his porch. On our wedding day, everything was done for us and we just had to show up. We were married on Makapu'u. Coco played Over the Rainbow and the Hawaiian Wedding Song for us as he sang with his Ukulele. Our photographer, Dave was exceptional. We loved the way Coco officiated our wedding and our vows. His humor and his many Hawaiian blessings made it a beautiful wedding morning to remember. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to getting married on the island. They offer great prices and can customize to meet your needs. Coco and Jacqueline really make your wedding day a priority and run their wedding company with aloha. They truly care about love and it shows.

Seeing…read morethey specialize in Beach or Outdoor style weddings on their awesome website, we were impressed with the style and flair they project. The only thing was we were having a Church Wedding ! After E-mailing Paul through their infi8ity@gmail.com address, I (we) were immediately relieved that the information exchange back in forth felt like communicating with an old friend. No pressure, No Hurry, No Worries. After figuring the amount of time, photo's and video needed, Paul was able to quote an estimate along with how much of a down payment was needed to book the Date n Time of the event in question. Of course there are many add ons you can request as far as flowers, lei's etc. All for nominal fees. We're thrilled at what we received for dollars spent. Paul was also able to make it to our rehearsal at Church. This allowed him to get a feel for the layout an ask questions as far as church etiquette is concerned. He was professionally exceptional ! When the big day came it was so comforting to know it was all being documented with Pics. and Video by professionals. He brought a couple extra photographers to assist him document our Nuptials. I can't brag enough about Aloha Island Weddings. Thank You Paul, Dewi and Co. for making Joyce n I 's Wedding Day such a Happy, Memorable and Wonderful Experience !

The Agency Collective Hawaii really stepped up and saved the day on multiple occasions…read more Liz was and IS amazing, she effortlessly stepped up to make our day special when others let us down. I highly recommend theagencycollectivehi for their professionalism, patience, and generosity. Let's not forget their amazing connections to wedding industry essentials! Liz coordinated with and connected out of state family and friends with beautiful accommodations in Waikiki at a special rate (anyone planning a wedding can probably compare this process to herding cats). We were struggling to find a DJ prior to her help and Within 10 minutes of our first conversation, she found us a DJ at the budget we set. DJ Philly Willie was a huge hit and my friends still can't stop talking about him! My MOM boogied the WHOLE night haha! Now let me touch upon the generosity and kindness from Liz and theagencycollectivehi. They were lifesavers. I'll spare the heavy details, but I was very unfortunately scammed (bank scam)‍ out of $13k a couple months before the wedding and didn't have the money to hire help. Liz reached out to Hawaii News Now, for my info, after seeing my current husband and I in an interview warning about the scamming empire. She offered her help in any way we needed and I cried. After being scammed. It's difficult to trust others motives. However, Liz won me over. I cannot thank her enough and once again believe beautiful people exist. This group is amazing and kind and genuine and I think that alone, deserves giving them a chance to make your day special. Cheers

My now-wife handled the majority of the communication with Diana, but she was very on top of all the communication. Everything was executed flawlessly, and with thorough explanation. We ended up choosing Kualoa Ranch, which was one of the places Diana recommended. This is another story for another review, but I highly recommend that venue! Despite all of the moving parts, and the destination wedding of 24 people who traveled into town for it, there was no stone left un-turned. Every detail was taken care of, and because of this, Diana allowed us to enjoy our once-in-a-lifetime experience without a stress or care in the world.

I used Martina Cacciaroni and Oahu Wedding Company for my wedding in May of 2009, to cut straight…read moreto the point...DO NOT USE HER! My story is long but I'm going to cover the relevant topics. I meet her and some other colleagues a year and a half before my wedding date. She's very personable and her website is great but this reflects nothing to her knowledge of wedding planning abilities. She's a great person and is very sweet but bottom line is she has not clue about what it takes to plan a wedding. I'd give her organizational skills a D-. I was so furious after my wedding that when I came home I did some research on her to find out that she was in college while she was helping me plan my wedding. Which means she's a part time coordinator and explains why she wasn't fully tracking with me. I found her myspace, facebook and some references on her college website that helped me to determine that she was a full time student during my year and a half of planning and that she graduated the same month that I had my wedding. There were so many details that we had discussed that she did not do at my wedding. I'm not sure if she thought I wouldn't of noticed or if she just solely forgot. Every vendor she recommended me to was horrible to work with. The day of the wedding she showed up with basically a bunch of friends (all about 25 yrs old or so) and they were her setup and break down crew. They didn't do a mic check before the wedding and the pastor couldn't even say my name right (which she was suppose to go over with him). It seemed like a bunch of college kids who go to college in Hawaii and decided that they're going to do a wedding planning company for people who do destination weddings. After all, how hard can it be right? I imagine that your able to get away with it so long as the party doesn't exceed 30 people but after that the flaws truly start to come out. Supposedly when I met her a year and a half before my wedding day there was another older lady who was suppose to be mentoring her but for unknown reasons the lady left. Martina is the only wedding planner I believe and there's another guy his name is Nathan Bingham or something similar, but he's just the boyfriend now turned fiance. I did some research on him and it looks like he runs some type of moped rental company on the island as well so they might just be in the business to make money but I assure you that she/they have no idea what they are doing. Even more fishy...when I paid my balance I got an emailed receipt that said it was from Oahu Wedding but the email address wasnathan@hawaiianstylerentals.com I checked that website Hawaiian Style Rentals - Honolulu's Moped, Motorcycle and Bicycle Rentals Specialists on Oahu, Hawaii. and sure enough it looks like the payment system is tied to his business. It doesn't pay to try and scam people especially with the world wide web. I read she got into a college in some state on the east coast so I'm sure she'll just move her business over there or still continue to give the illusion that she can operate out of Hawaii since she still has friend there. Whatever it is...I believe it will all come back to you eventually. I wasn't going to post my review of her initially after my wedding because I thought it would be spitefully of me to do that but if I can save just one person from telling my story than that's one person that can go on and have the wedding of her dreams since it's too late for me. Your wedding day is only one day in a lifetime...don't gamble with someone your unsure about. I say to find someone who you can get good raves on from people who are neutral and have nothing to gain or lose from telling you their personal experience.

Michele Made Our Wedding Perfect!…read more Michele from Memorable Hawaii Weddings truly made my dreams come true when she officiated the wedding between my husband and me. She was flexible, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the whole process. Even though we chose a simple "sign and go" option, she still went above and beyond to make our moment special -- she even decorated the table for us, which we absolutely loved! She really listened to what we wanted and made sure our ceremony felt personal and meaningful. On top of her amazing service, she was also the most affordable officiant we found -- yet the quality she provided was unmatched. It's clear she's an expert at what she does and genuinely cares about every couple she works with. We appreciate her so much! If you're getting married in Hawaii and want someone who will make your day beautiful, stress-free, and affordable, Michele is the one!

Her sweet intentions is something we will never forget. I want all of Hawaii to know how wonderful Michele is! She is very good at what she does and it's because she puts so much love and time into planning the perfect ceremony.

Our experience planning our destination wedding in Oahu, Hawaii with Yanicke, where we first met…read moreand fell in love, was nothing short of a fairytale. As a newly engaged couple living in New Jersey, we had been ideating on whether we should pull the trigger on organizing our wedding in Hawaii - the ultimate destination wedding location - not to mention, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Just knowing this, we assumed it would be out of our budget, especially given that we were planning a big fat Polish-Indian wedding spanning multiple days, faiths, cultures and more! We began emailing quite a few planners via The Knot and Wedding Wire just to get a feel for what we could except from planning a wedding in Hawaii in general. Beyond worrying about our budget, we were torn on whether we could logistically execute something so elaborate being so far away....until that fateful Monday morning back in 2024, when Yanicke called me out of the blue. She quickly introduced herself, mentioning how she had received our inquiry, and immediately dove into her ideas for our special day. I just loved that she took the initiative to do that, especially given the crazy, 6-hour time difference! She explained how she had worked with a venue that could double as accommodations for us and our immediate family, something we knew would be one of the best ways to actually host and easily organize the wedding weekend of both Indian and Polish wedding festivities. For us, Yanicke REALLY shined when it came to tapping her vast network of vendors and and managing our budget. She advised us on what we should prioritize and invest in, and what we could do without, while still maintaining the overall vision and vibe we wanted to create for ourselves and our guests on the the big day. She was EQUALLY impressive on both our rehearsal and wedding days. She suggested we rehearse not just the Catholic, but the and Hindu ceremony as well, which was so worth it given the many rituals and parent involvement. The timeline she had started putting together months before our wedding, plus the finalized version accounting for vendor arrivals, additional notes and moments we needed to incorporate, was exactly what we envisioned and needed the most, and everyone was locked in and delivered once the big day came. On our wedding day, Yanicke managed every vendor, navigated any delays with grace, and even helped with family drama all while keeping us perfectly on track. We felt supported, celebrated, and completely stress-free with her by our side. Yanicke is a real gem with years of wedding planning wisdom and sharp networking skills that is truly hard to come by these days. She advocates for both her clients and her network, and will make you feel like family from Day 1.

Gorgeous place for a wedding ceremony! Tall glass windows that overlooks the perfect ocean view…read more Great palm trees around the area. Since it is a chapel, there space is small. Pretty pre-set decor. Although, if wanting to change the decor there's a fee for that. Real flowers/petals are not allowed inside to prevent staining of the petals on the chapel floor, which was a bummer. So we opted to do fake petals, and if they don't have the color you like, there's a fee for providing your own fake petals. The timeframe to have the chapel is a little too short. Only an hour and a half for a very hefty price tag $2900. Make sure to ask for the local discount if you live on the island. It also gets booked fairly quick since many of the tourist book the chapel for their wedding. Beautiful place but expensive and limited timeline and very strict rules.
